both commands generated long lists - too long to post here. I just post the end part of both commands:

thank you Juanito. Now bluetooth works from command line. Connected a keyboard and a mouse, but had problems with an external bluetooth speaker. To hook this speaker up is probably another animal. Pulseaudio comes into play here. Hmm?Blueman does not work out of the box yet.After the bluetooth daemon was running and I had the bluetooth command line:

[bluetooth]# connect 7C:1E:52:67:41:FAAttempting to connect to 7C:1E:52:67:41:FA I was able to start blueman from its icon in wbar and the management gui window was stable and working.BTW: piCore with this configuration will be very useful with the newly introduced PI ZERO W, which has built in WIFI and Bluetooth - and is available too. Using Raspian with the ZERO ---> too slow IMO.
